Funding opportunity from Community Foundation of SE Michigan
The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan (CFSEM) has announced a funding opportunity through its DADA (Detroit Auto Dealers Association) Charitable Foundation Fund. Proposals may focus on a wide range of programs including human services, arts and culture, youth development, education, and healthy living. Projects must benefit children and youth (defined as Pre-K-12) in southeast Michigan.
Awards typically range in size from $10,000-50,000. Applicants must register in the Fluxx system by January 9, 2023; applications will be due by 5 pm on January 17.

Faculty should inform Donna Lartigue at lartigue@umich.edu that they plan to submit a proposal for DADA funding; she also is available to assist faculty and answer questions related to CFSEM's DADA grant opportunity.
